Chimneys: small.

Santa: not small.

That's the situation discussed behind this particular door, which I'm sneaking in now just before the day ends.


Jerry Colonna - He's Too Fat For The Chimney

Jerry Colonna was the "bug-eyed comedian" with an impressive 'tache (see below) and this performance is certainly manic. I personally love these goofy old comic songs on Christmas themes, possibly because they remind me of my Dad delighting in corny cracker jokes when I was a kid. I fully intend to torment my own children with this song and many others.

I remember another old song on the same theme, "When Santa Got Stuck Down the Chimney (achoo, achoo, achoo)". Which was poss. aimed at kids, so IIRC twas performed in a very stiff Watch with Mother / Muffin the Mule sorta style. This one is better, I think.
